Hello Everyone: How would I search my CRM by Industry? For example, if I have a banker’s contact information in my CRM, Hubspot automatically lists “Banking” as the Industry. My question is, how do I search for only “Banking” information in my Hubspot CRM? Thanks. ---

Hi, In your contact view, click on “all filters” then search for industry and select your industry. ![Capture d’écran 2022-12-05 à 13.05.35.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/12e8bef0c9e99a085374c50f85a6890dab4c6ef7.png) David ---

If you need to view companies by industry on a regular basis I would suggest creating a saved view so you can quickly see the information, and / or create an Active list if you’d like to use the information for emails, workflows and reporting. If ‘banking’ is too broad an industry you could always create a ‘sub-sector’ property and add specfic values. Both contacts and companies have ‘Industries’ so it might also be worth creating a workflow to copy an inustry to a contact to make sure they’re consistent. I often see differences or gaps in data due to industry info 🙂 ---

Hi @Anonymous, To filter your contacts by a specific industry, follow the steps below: Under _Menu_ \> _Contacts_ \> _Contacts_, click _All filters_ and search for ‘industry’. ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/9/d916ea17fa6c2c808e76c4121a7fde2b1f6fa536.png) Then, select _Industry_ and type in ‘Banking’. ![karstenkoehler_1-1670445660775.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/9/b996349ba9911e509e656e53964fda437fd7e386.png) Once you hit ‘Apply filter’, the contact selection should automatically reflect only contacts with ‘Banking’. If you want to save this view, click here in the top right corner. ![karstenkoehler_2-1670445713520.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/6/f6d9b0b8f464973fa3575ca6028f765e05c6f035.png) Let me know if you have any follow-up questions! ---
